Rescuing Dogs with Special Needs with Lisa Mattuchio of Eddie’s Ranch

Listen Later

Do you dream of opening an animal rescue? Or maybe there’s a soft spot in your heart for “hard-to-adopt” dogs?

Today we’re joined by Lisa Mattuchio (known on social as @eddieonwheels) who runs Eddie’s Ranch — a rescue inspired by her late beloved rescue dog.

Lisa is here to pull back the proverbial doggy door on what it takes to start an animal rescue from scratch and the special bonds we create with dogs with disabilities.

We chat about:

  • The first steps that Lisa took to open up Eddie’s Ranch [1:00]
  • Why Lisa prioritizes senior and special-needs animals [8:15]
  • Pushing through the intimidation of caring for a special needs animal [12:20]
  • What a typical day running the rescue looks like [18:00]
  • The hardest part about rescue [26:15]
  • Ways you can support your local animal shelter even with limited time [33:30]

    • Tune in for an inspiring story about the special needs dog that left a legacy. Then join the Juniper Community to meet more pet parents like you!
